If you are worried about pandemics, I would keep an eye on this: a Marburg virus disease outbreak in Equatorial Guinea. From Wikipedia:
Marburg virus disease (MVD; formerly Marburg hemorrhagic fever) is a viral hemorrhagic fever in human and non-human primates caused by either of the two Marburgviruses: Marburg virus (MARV) and Ravn virus (RAVV).[3] Its clinical symptoms are very similar to those of Ebola virus disease (EVD).[1]
Despite what the article says, there is an experimental vaccine that has shown "promising results" in the first human trial.
